Zhuang Yaru was surprised by the sudden voice, so she looked at Murong Haotian in shock.
Murong Haotian was confused when seeing her freaking out. "What"s wrong? Why are you so surprised?"
"Oh, nothing. I just didn"t expect you to come in suddenly. And I was a little uncomfortable due to staying in Xiaoxu"s room."
"OK, after the doctor examines the wound on your feet, I"ll take you back to your room."
"Thank you. Haotian, if you have something to do, go ahead. You don"t have to stay with me here. I"m fine. I just injured my ankle. It"s not a big deal."
"I"ll wait for the doctor."
When Murong Xu hung up the phone, he was so sad and heartbroken, which made Murong Ye, who was video chatting with him, feel worried.
"What"s wrong?"
"How ironic. He actually believed that woman! He"s the man who had raised me for over 20 years, and he didn"t believe me at all."
Although it was in a video across the network, Murong Ye could still feel the disappointment and helplessness of Murong Xu.
"Who? Zhuang Yaru?"
"She told my dad that I beat her?! That"s bulls.h.i.t! My dad just bought it easily."
Murong Ye seemed to have figured out what happened while looking at the red palm print on Murong Xu"s cheek. He was a little worried when Murong Xu suddenly came to chat with him on video. Now he knew what was going on after Murong Haotian phoned Murong Xu.
"Do you really know your dad?"
Murong Xu was surprised when Murong Ye suddenly asked him such a question.
"What do you mean?"
"Or do you think you really know him? Do you know who he truly is?"
"What"s wrong? Is there something that I don"t know?"
Murong Xu had learned about psychology. Although he was not good at intrigue or playing psychological tactics, he still had his own insight. He knew that Murong Ye had to know something that he didn"t know, so he would ask such a question. And that was something that would make him look at his dad like a different person.
"If you don"t know, you don"t have to find out from me. Maybe it"s not the right time to say it."
"If you don"t want to say it, I won"t ask. But now I"m so disappointed with him. He is a smart man. How can he unreasonably believe that woman? This is not the father I trusted before."
"What are you going to do now?"
"He said if I didn"t apologize to that woman, I would never get to come back to the family. In that case, fine! It"s better not to go back, so they will leave me and Xuanxuan alone."
"Haven"t you ever wondered what the problem is between you and Xuanxuan?"
"What else can it be? Because she is not from a powerful and wealthy family. I had been worried about it for a long time, but when I told them about Xuanxuan, they were so happy that they didn"t care about her family circ.u.mstances at all. Now it seems that I was wrong. How would people like them be open-minded?"
"Oh, what about Gu Yuxuan"s father?"
"He is afraid that Xuanxuan will have a hard time in our family when she marries me. I can understand that he wants his daughter to have a happy life. But now he has come around and accepts me. I think he is more open and reasonable than my parents."
A trace of different feelings flashed through Murong Ye, but Murong Xu didn"t notice.
Now it seemed that Gu Yuxuan didn"t know the truth yet. Perhaps it was better to hide the truth so that this couple could live a happy life.
"By the way, big brother, when will you and Xiao Xi come back?"
"It"s gonna be a while. Why?"
"Nothing, I"m just thinking that you"re not here now. But I"d like to get my marriage certificate with Xuanxuan first. I"m afraid she can"t afford to wait any longer cause she has my baby now. Maybe the certificate will make Xuanxuan feel better."
Murong Ye didn"t know how to make the best decision for them either because he couldn"t tell them the truth yet. But he was also worried that they would get hurt when they knew everything.
"Well, brother, I won"t keep you from your rest. Is it nighttime at your place?"
"Yeah, it"s pretty late."
"Then you should go to bed early. Goodnight."
"OK. Goodnight."
After hanging up, Murong Ye couldn"t calm himself down.
He sighed lightly, then came out of the study and happened to see Murong Yunxi, who had come out to drink water.
"Xiao Xi, aren"t you asleep yet?"
Murong Yunxi was a little drowsy and looked at Murong Ye. "Brother, why don"t you sleep? It"s late at night. I woke up after sleeping and felt a little thirsty, so I came downstairs to drink some water."
"Oh, go ahead. Then go to bed early."
Murong Yunxi followed Murong Ye and they went downstairs together. Murong Yunxi poured two gla.s.ses of water and handed one to Murong Ye. "You should drink some, otherwise you will also feel thirsty after you fall asleep."
Murong Ye took the gla.s.s that Murong Yunxi gave him and looked at her, feeling the warmth that his sister gave him.
Murong Yunxi didn"t feel sleepy now, so she wanted to chat with Murong Ye. Then she casually asked, "Brother, what are you doing in the middle of the night?"
"Xu was video chatting with me just now." Murong Ye didn"t try to hide it and directly told Murong Yunxi.
"Oh? Video chatting with Xu? Are he and Xuanxuan having a sweet time now? Now that Gu"s father agrees with them, I think their misery is over these days. Maybe they will feel much happier than before."
"Xu quarreled with his father."
"Really? Why?"
"I don"t know the details. I just know something happened. Uncle and aunt are now opposed to them being together. And then aunt found a blind date for Xu, but Xu disagreed and had some conflicts with her. Then aunt hit Xu, but she told uncle that Xu was the one that beat her. So now Xu and his father quarreled."
"Wow. Is it serious? Will it make things worse between him and Xuanxuan?"
"It doesn"t look like it"s going to be easy. Uncle says if Xu doesn"t apologize to our aunt, then he can"t come back to the house. Obviously, it"s impossible for Xu to apologize. So now things are very tricky."
"What"s he going to do? Is he really falling out with his family? And what about him and Xuanxuan?"
"It seems that Xu would like to get the marriage certificate with Xuanxuan first. He insists on dating Xuanxuan, so he doesn"t seem to want to make peace with his family."
"Will it be better to marry Xuanxuan behind the family"s back? Is this really a good idea? But if he can finish the thing with Xuanxuan as soon as possible, I"d still be happy. Maybe they would not have anything to say if Xu could get things done before they realized it. By then, they could only play along."
"I"m afraid it"s not that simple. I don"t know if the two of them would still be so happy if they found out the things about Xuanxuan"s mother."
"That"s not what will happen to Xuanxuan"s mother. Didn"t you tell me that uncle won"t make it public? So there shouldn"t be any trouble, right? Besides, Xuanxuan has no connection with her mother now, so she probably won"t take it out on Xu for her mother."
"Do you know what her mother is like now? Maybe you wouldn"t think so if you knew!"
